Find the right path with os.chdir() in digital ocean

I tried several ways but never succeeded. I need to change the directory in digital ocean (/home/vagrant). I have files saved in the same folder as where the file.py file is. file.py and other files that file.py aims to execute are all in /folder/PH/Programs. When I ran $python file.py, it appeared an error of the directory:

os.chdir('/folder/PH/Programs')


OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:   '/folder/PH/Programs'
Solution

  • Either you provide the full path to file, or do not put a slash at the beginning. That means the root directory.

    go with:

    os.chdir('~/folder/PH/Programs')

    If it is in your home directory, or otherwise specify the full path to file.

    (In fact, the path you say in your question is wrong for the same reason).
